10/10 Exceptional

The huge house is exceptional architecturally and recalls a past era of fine country living. The dining facilities and food are first rate;. the property is well kept and features its own lake ; broad verandahs overlook garden and croquet areas. The many rooms are comfortable and well decorated while varying greatly in size and view.. I will visit again and stay longer.

Wonderful hotel on Prince Edward Island
The ambience was lovely, sitting in big comfortable chairs or sofas in front of a fire that was kept replenished with firewood all day and night. The setting is gorgeous. This was the most relaxing part of our trip. I could have stayed much longer. The staff went the extra mile to be helpful. The owner (operator) was most gracious.

8/10 Very good

We had a great stay at the Dalvay. The smell of the wood burning fireplaces greets you when you walk into the hotel. If you are looking to experience the charm of yesteryear this is the place for you.

Very enjoyable. Restaurant and lobby got a bit warm in the day.

There were so many cozy areas situated around the woodburning fireplaces. The staff was excepionally friendly and helpful. This grand hotel is very old and it felt like stepping back in time to stay there. It was in a great location from which to explore PEI.

lovely.
Delicious food. Oh the mussels were so yummy!! and the seafood chowder. Our room was lovely, with a view of the lake (and lots of Canada geese!). Lots of comfy sitting spaces indoors and out. The staff were all very well trained and made us feel really welcome
Faye, 3-night trip

The property is divine! The food is fabulous....every single dish! The servers, front desk personnel and management were all lovely...a special mention to David, Vickie and Nicole. I was made to feel like family. Loved the proximity to the water with miles of red sandy beach. Would return in a heartbeat! ❤️ Jody.

David managed to upgrade us to a cabin to accommodate allergy sensitivity. Were mere steps away from main building. Very private and quaint. Staff in dining room were very friendly and meal didn’t disappoint. Not much of anything else near the property as it is located within a Provincial Park.

This hotel may not be for everyone as it is Historical. There are no elevators or modern rooms and washrooms. There is also no TV or clocks on site. It is a great place to stay. Rooms are large. All of the staff will go the extra to ensure you are happy. On-site restaurant is reasonably priced with great food. We would definitely stay heard again
